Ben Yoho? Any relationship to Ted Yoho, the former Republican Congressman from Florida's 3rd Congressional district, a flaming RWNJ who at least kept his promise to retire after 4 terms in the House. But, he was as radical a right winger as any in today's GOP, so we're lucky to get rid of him. Apparently, he briefly considered running in the special election in Florida's 6th District last year, the one that gave us Randy Fine.

It's hard to decide if Yoho had run and won, would he have been any better than Fine?

She was never going to fit in with the White House Mean Girls, was she? Sure, she can lie, but not as well without that slightly constipated and pinched Mar-A-Lago Face®. It just doesn't cut it.

Been a good long while but wasn't "YOHO" the copyrighted Ed McMahon shoutout, cueing the Tonight Show audience that big laffs had arrived / were on the way?

Maybe not.

I dismiss out of hand any explanation of her departure that rests on the assumption that she ever had an ounce of integrity.

"she got a job as spokesperson for the Ohio Republican party out of college"

Yuck! Imagine having to fuck your way up the creepy republican low rent country club circuit. I guess it paid off though, two hundred million big ones.

Yep. They’re McLaughlin all the way to the bank. Who knew turd polishing was such a lucrative trade?

The last days of the Marcos Regime: there had been weeks of street demonstrations, and finally Marcos had enough. He ordered the military to open fire on the demonstrators, and when they refused, it was curtains. I sadly believe that our own military would not show the same level of integrity and patriotism.

If there was weeks of large scale protests in DC I think they might.

Horrible people from top to bottom

Someone this obtuse, obedient and toadying might normally enlist a modicum or two of concern, in that this is not someone who seems at all alright.

But McLaughlin on a daily basis paved the way for rogue, violent "law enforcement," refused to distance the agency supposedly charged with protecting all Americans from blatantly racist and Nazi rhetoric and imagery, and outright lied to the American people over and over, all the while benefiting from back door profiteering through her husband at tax-payer expense.

Even if she's left the building now, she and her responsibility-shirking boss need to be held to account.

To quote Exene: "Your phone's off the hook, but you're not."

OMFG PALAT PUTS CZECHIA AHAEAD OF CANADA WITH 7:42 TO GO

James's avatar

PALAT!? If you’d said Necas or Pasta I’d be like “That’s his jam”, but I did not see Palat coming. Guess neither did the Canadians.

BUT NOBODY saw the US women steamrolling every opponent the way they have. Anybody says they did, they’re lying.

Bitter Scribe's avatar

Yeah, they should be primed to take Canada tomorrow, especially with Poulin still hobbled.

(Famous last words, I know.)

Regarding Necas, he set up Palat's goal with a gorgeous drop pass. (For naught, as it turned out.)

James's avatar

They’ve already blown by Canada once — 5-0 (how they ended up in the same group I cannot fathom, but whatever — I can’t explain the way the NHL thinks having the top 2 teams in each conference play in Round 2 is a good idea either). Dominant is inadequate to the task of describing what they’ve done so far. The only goal they gave up came in the second(?) period of their first game. Since then? 5-0, 5-0, 5-0, 6-0, 5-0.

NGL, I miss Necas. I get why Tulsky made the deal, and at the time I was excited by the possibilities, but second guessing the GM is what fans do, right? At least he recognized that if a thing couldn’t end well, it should at least end quickly and managed to recoup some of the loss. And it’s hard to complain about having Taylor Hall as a consolation prize.

Bitter Scribe's avatar

Yeah, I remember Hall from when he used to play for the Blackhawks. He's always been good.

James's avatar

He won the Hart when he was in NJ. He’s been thriving with Carolina too, playing with Blake and Stankoven, which is good for them too as young players (both in their 2nd year). Hall has still got some wheels for an over-30 guy. This was the role he was supposed to have in Chicago with Bedard, but it didn’t seem to work out, which is how he wound up here in that bizarre triangle trade. IIRC Tulsky just extended him too. (If he was smart he did, and he’s *wicked* smart.)

The more I learn about these people the more I agree with an eye for an eye.

And that was meant out of kindness, then and now, against what she and her ilk really deserve.
